A BLOODLEss MAN.
A German Soldier Has DagEers
aud Knives Run Through Him.

A Soldier Has DagEers
and KNIVES Kun Through Him.
Berlin physicians and scientists are at a
loss to account for Q strange freak Of ma
ture which lives but q few miles from
that place. The man, whose name Is
Otto Schreiber, apparently has no blood.
This fact was discovered less than a
month ago. when Schneider, who was a
soldier corporal, had a duel with a fell
low soldier. His opponent ran him
through with q sword, but no blood
flowed, and he did not appear to be
harmed in the least. The man was so as
tonished that Otto had no difficulty in
killing him. Since that time he has let
his comrades smuse themselves by stick
ing knives and daggers through his body
with no injury Whatever, not even a drop
of blood flowing. He visited q medical
college in Berlin, and in the presence OF
the whole college had a sharp knife run
through his mouth, coming out on the
back Of his head. No mark whatever was
left. He was then examined by a com.
mittee Of distinguished surgeons, who ex'
pressed themselves totally unable to ex'
plain the miracle. Otto Schneider is
corporal in the German army, and next
year, when his time Is up, he will exhibi,
himself in Berlin. Paris, London and

Philadelphia Record: The designation
of Internal Revenue taxes as "war
taxes" is a cunning attempt to make
them odious. There are no war taxes in
time of peace. Those taxes which 60

for revenue which ought to be retained.
Those taxes which are laid on the people
by preventing them from purchasing in

The Virginia Chronicle says Senator
Stanford brings in a bill against the Gov.
eminent for s65, 600, 900. which he de.
clares to the Pacific Railroad Commits
sion should be applied to csnceling the
debt of the Central Pacific road to the
people. He makes $40, 600, 900 Of this
out, according to the New York World,
by charging the Government with the
discount at which the bonds were placed
owing to the gold premium, with the in.
terest on this discount added. Much Of
the rest is composed of allowances for
transportation which the Government
neither contracted for nor got, but which
Mr.. Stanford claims it ought to pay for
because the company had counted on it.
He wants damages for the Sinking Fund
law also.
Mr.. Stanford asserts that in aiding in
the construction of the Northern Pacific
and certain other roads the Government
wronged the Central Pacific by divert.
ing traffic from it.
This is a curious plea to be put in by
one of the builders of the Southern Pa.
ciio, which Injuries the Central Pacific
more than any other road. just why
the Government should be made re.
sponsible to the country for the pre-
MUM in gold and for changes in the

But waving the ridiculous character o
Senator Stanford's bill, how does it dist
pose of the charges of corruption? And
if the property has been SO prosecuted
by the Government where do Stanford's,
Huntington's and Crocker's hundreds of
millions come from?
A very interesting phase Of the pres.
emit situation is the fact that President
Stanford, of the Central Pacific Railroad
Company, has a phantom bill in its be.
half of $65, 600. 900 against the Govern.
ment and sits in the United States Sen.
ate to advocate its allowance.

When it became known that Stanley

don the idea of great dinner under
the auspices of the Royal Geographical
society was suggested and rapidly took
shape. Everything was arranged for
the affair, when a dispatch arrived that
Stanley could not be in London for
three days. What was to be doneP
We determined to have the dinner any
way. Fiske came to me in hot haste.
Did l know anything about SANKEY'S
books? Yes, | had read every line Of
them. Had | read his recent news

Fiske, you must be Stanley for this
performance only Fiske was to re-
present the president of the Geograph-
ical society. The cast was completed,
and the dinner was given. The repre-
sentatives of the press were there, and
every detail was attended to. At the
proper time toast was proposed to the
guest of the evening, the great ex-
plorer, Stanley, and | responded. /
talked for nearly an hour, and the peo-
pie at the dinner-tablc followed my
story of finding Livingstone with rapt
attention. The little Frenchman who
kept the hotel where the dinner was
given brought his children for Stanley
to pat them on the head. The greatest
enthusiasm prevailed, and when | came
